3 Description
The ADS912x is a family of 16-bit, high-speed,
analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with an integrated
driver for the ADC inputs. The integrated ADC
driver simplifies the signal chain, reduces power
consumption for precision applications, and supports
high-frequency signals beyond 1MHz. By not requiring
an external decoupling capacitor, the integrated ADC
reference buffer is optimized for wide bandwidth
applications.
The ADS912x uses a serial LVDS (SLVDS)
data interface that enables high-speed digital
communication while minimizing digital switching
noise. Read the ADC data using separate SLVDS
outputs per ADC channel or one SLVDS output for
both ADC channels.
